On August 10 the man who may be the recording artist you are most likely to hear sampled in the broadest variety of electronic music is releasing a new album ( all you douchebags get your sampling software ready).Megawave and MVD audio are releasing Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Revelation on August 10, 2010. There will also be a handful of tour dates more info, we assume, should be at the official Lee Perry website.

With releases dating back to 1969 when the seminal, The Upsetter, was released, Perry is a giant in reggae and if you don’t know him I am not explaining or elucidating more than this. Go buy Superape or Africa’s Blood or something. Frankly if you do not own Superape I might slap the shit out of you.

This record, as so many great reggae albums, was recorded in Switzeraland. But hell, anywhere Lee Perry is is Jamaica right? Anyway, the luminaries on this recording include Keith Richards, Duncan & Keith, George Clinton, Dr Sleepy and a whole lot more. Who would say no to recording with Perry?
